Yang Hong had expected that after the formation was completed, he would need to input spiritual energy to activate it. Then, the spirit plants would absorb the spiritual energy to slowly complete the formation, and finally, the teleportation array would be activated, allowing Yang Hong's family to escape.
But now, just by planting the formation and connecting it, the power of space had already begun to converge.
It was too fast.
But it was also uncontrollable!
Without Yang Hong's magic power to activate it, Yang Hong could barely control this teleportation array now.
"Plans always change faster than reality."
"Then let's go for it!"
Yang Hong gritted his teeth, and the summit of the Great Snow Mountain began to enter a mode of thunder and lightning.
He started continuously undergoing tribulations with the ninth-grade spirit plants he had saved for twenty years.
The 108 tribulation thunders would take up most of the day. It would take two days for three ninth-grade spirit plants to complete their tribulation.
...
At the foot of the Great Snow Mountain, outside the snow mountain area, a large city spanning a hundred miles was built within three years, named: Qingfeng City.
The controller was still Yang Kuan of the Qingfeng Sect.
However, in Qingfeng City, the strongest were the monks of the Immovable Temple.
Although the Immovable Temple, and even the entire Buddhist sect, owed Yang Hong a great debt, before Pu Ji left, she had informed the Buddhist sect that Yang Hong had been sealed by her.
Therefore, the Immovable Temple naturally began to develop in the Five Directions Region.
However, their previous actions had angered many, and the cultivators of the Five Directions Region did not welcome them.
But the monks were thick-skinned. Even though Yang Kuan had clearly stated that the Buddhist sect and monks were not welcome, they still grinned and established a temple in Qingfeng City, opening their gates and accepting disciples.
The abbot of the Immovable Temple in Qingfeng City, Monk Guangzhi, was an eighth-rank Tribulation Crossing realm eminent monk.
"There's a heavenly tribulation on the Great Snow Mountain?"
"Which expert is unafraid of death to undergo tribulation on the Great Snow Mountain?"
Muttering to himself, Monk Guangzhi rose from his meditation cushion. After thinking for a moment, he still used his遁法 to fly towards the Great Snow Mountain.
As soon as he entered the snow mountain range, the temperature dropped sharply. Upon crossing that invisible boundary, the temperature directly dropped to minus 50 degrees Celsius.
As he ventured deeper into the snow mountain, the temperature plummeted rapidly.
Not only was the temperature decreasing, but the spiritual energy in the world also became cold and desolate.
That kind of cold directly affected the body. No matter how high one's cultivation was, they could not be immune to this low temperature.
Unless you didn't breathe the spiritual energy of this world, this cold directly originated from the world's spiritual energy.
"This snow mountain is a bit strange, so cold!"
Monk Guangzhi's eighth-rank Tribulation Crossing realm cultivation was indeed powerful. He could traverse thousands of miles of outer mountain ranges and fly directly to the ten-thousand-zhang snow peak.
However, looking at the dark clouds covering the distant mountain peak, he dared not take another step forward.
Although the tribulation thunder region was only a hundred miles away, and the snow mountain was only the last three hundred feet, if he took another step forward, he would have a sense of being frozen into a specimen.
Another reason he dared not move was that in the large area beneath the tribulation thunder, he saw only ice and snow, no living creatures, and no dead objects.
It was as if the terrifying tribulation thunder from the sky was hitting the air.
"Is a great powerful being in seclusion here? Should I visit?"
"But the timing seems a bit off."
Monk Guangzhi did not dare to approach. He retreated a few miles, opened a simple snow cave on a mountain peak, and began to wait.
However...
"How many people are in seclusion on this mountain? The tribulation thunder has been constant for ten days, and it looks like it's going to continue!"
Monk Guangzhi was shocked and also a little weary.
For ten days, he had consumed over ten thousand mid-grade fire-attribute spirit stones to avoid being frozen stiff.
Now, his fire-attribute spirit stones were depleted, so he had to withdraw.
"I'll go back first and find our ninth-rank senior brothers to investigate. If there's any treasure, we'll snatch it. Even if there's no treasure, this snow peak has such abundant spiritual energy; it would be good to snatch it as our sect's mountain."
He glanced at the still-falling tribulation thunder and calculated in his heart how many senior brothers and uncles he should find for help, then resolutely turned and headed down the mountain.
The heavenly tribulation continued. After all 66 spirit plants had taken form, Yang Hong also used the method of灌顶 to increase the cultivation of these four-rank flower and tree demons after they transformed. This continued to attract tribulation thunders, bombarding the sealing barrier.
The sealed area continuously expanded, and finally covered a portion of the teleportation array that the spirit plants had planted.
But Yang Hong was still very helpless, almost crying.
"This seal is toxic!"
The teleportation array was covered within the sealed area, but Yang Hong still could not control it.
Although he could already灌顶 the covered Ice Willow and絮草, he still couldn't influence the teleportation array that had begun to gather and absorb spatial fluctuations.
Even if Yang Hong poured all his true qi into it, it only accelerated the array's absorption and condensation of spatial power.
He could not adjust the direction or the fine details of the array's range.
"Toxic! Extremely toxic!"
When the seal covered the entire teleportation array, Yang Hong wanted to cry.
As soon as the teleportation array was successfully connected, it was activated. Even as the sealed area covered it layer by layer, it showed no change and continued to operate as usual.
Even with the continuous tribulation thunders from the sky, it did not affect the teleportation array's operation.
If Yang Hong hadn't been sure that the spatial fluctuations of the teleportation array were always directed outwards, he might have cut down the trees and destroyed the formation.
Yang Hong was truly pushing himself. He had saved 120 ninth-grade spirit plants, which underwent tribulations in sequence after taking form. Then, using planting and灌顶, as well as magical transportation, he rapidly elevated the fourth-rank demons to the fifth-rank.
If the spiritual energy within the seal hadn't been almost depleted by him, he would have directly raised these spiritual plants to the sixth-rank.
For a full 103 days, the tribulation thunders in the sky did not dissipate, but the teleportation array had already emitted a bright white light.
"Yu Yan, Li Zhi... Quick~ Quick~ Quick~ Everyone come over, the teleportation array is about to start!"
Sensing the intense spatial fluctuations and the gray-white lightning cracks appearing on the invisible seal, Yang Hong became excited and loudly called for Zhu Yu Yan and the others to prepare to escape this seal.
As for the transformed spirit plants, he also called them, but these spirit plants could only stand outside the formation's eye.
If they were lucky, they would leave together; if they were unlucky, they would be temporarily confined.
As soon as Yang Hong and the others stood in place, a silver-white light shot up into the sky.
"Great, we can finally leave."
Sensing the familiar teleportation fluctuations, Yang Hong smiled.
He had used teleportation arrays several times before, so he was familiar with the feeling.
But~~
Suddenly, the sky turned dark, and a colossal object was teleported out of the void.
Rumble~
Yang Hong's expectant gaze turned confused, then terrified.
"Holy crap~ What is this thing?"
"Defense~ All defensive spells activated!"
Yang Hong shouted and quickly unleashed all the sealing spells he had learned. Everyone who received Yang Hong's reminder began to cast defensive spells.
"All tree demons, transform into your original forms and support the sky with all your might!"
Under Yang Hong's command, the transformed ninth-grade spirit wood directly reverted to its original form and rapidly grew taller until it reached the edge of the seal.
A hundred miles outside the seal, a group of bald heads also looked up at the sky in terror and fled outwards at full speed.
"An island~ Where did this island come from?"
A ninth-rank monk, flying for a thousand miles, looked at the sky with a terrified expression.
